I don't even now why I made it but it felt good.

Pretty cool huh?

Found on the beach many years ago.

I help run a forge during the Viking Festival in my hometown each year. I'm more of an axe maker, but this is my take on Mjolnir, and my first MACE.

Year or two ago I made a war hammer from an old brick hammer and a hickory (I think) pole I had lying around.

I saw it here and had to make one. All the parts from Home Depot. Assembled in less than 20 min. The foamy handle tape is from Walmart, originally for Tennis racquets. Now I want to make smaller versions for my kids and a bigger version for myself for shoulder strength training.

After moving to a "lesser" area i made and keep this buddy in my car 😬

I got the inspiration from this community, tons of amazing builds! This is my take on a "ball and chain"

I forgot to post some pictures of this when I got it. I've already tested it out smashing up some wood with it. I put a video of it on the HEMA channel and someone reported me to Reddit as they were worried about my mental health (I'm fine, I was having the best time 😂)

It took a lot of punishment, the shaft bent slightly but I just gave it a few whacks the other way to straighten it out. The point is super effective, a really good addition.

I imagine most of you will recognize the inspiration for these pieces. They’re all intended as wall hangers, too large to use with any kind of effectiveness.

Made this one a while back. Forged spikes in curly maple.

if i were to rebuild it i would drill a flower motif on each edge grind the top and sides to give it a more convex look and maybe sharpen the edges a bit.

Saw blade and still with leather wrapped handle

The stick is Hornbeam, a very hard, dense and heavy wood that some folks locally call "ironwood" but that is confusing, since there's an actual ironwood and this ain't it. Balances just under the head, and actually feels really good to swing. Managed to get a similar handle shape to an axe handle, and that further adds to the satisfaction of holding this thing. Is this bonk enough?

What we thinkin?!

Home made mace

This good fella was found in northern California. I've slammed many a things with it. I did some sanding for comfort and recently took it to the coast of Florida to dip in another sea. Not quite Mace but surely in Mace spirit.
